  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE No: 312/2018 Date: 29th May 2018 Armed Forces (Gibraltar) Bill 2018 The Government is pleased to announce the publication of the Armed Forces (Gibraltar) Bill 2018. The principal purpose of the Bill is to apply in Gibraltar law certain provisions of the UK’s Armed Forces Act 2006. The Bill applies to two categories of persons, namely, persons who are subject to service law (effectively members of the Armed Forces) and to civilians who are subject to service discipline (effectively civilians with a close nexus to the Armed Forces). It shall also apply to members of the Gibraltar Regiment. The Bill does not apply to ordinary civilians or to civilian property and makes it clear that it does not affect any right conferred upon any person by the Gibraltar Constitution. The Bill sets out the cases where the RGP and the service police authorities shall exercise exclusive, primary or concurrent jurisdiction in Gibraltar and establishes mechanisms for close cooperation between both police forces, including allowing one police force to waive jurisdiction in favour of the other. It also provides for the conclusion of an operational protocol between the Commander of British Forces, Gibraltar and the Commissioner of Police setting out the circumstances and manner in which jurisdiction, power and competence shall be exercised by one or other of them or concurrently. Such protocols exist in the UK and the Sovereign Base Areas in Cyprus and one will exist in Gibraltar by the time the Bill enters into force. The Bill creates certain offences in Gibraltar law relating to the armed forces, including desertion and absence without leave.
